摘要

本研究采用纵向方法分析网络评论中对 COVID-19 的出现、延续和后果的归咎。研究采用一种创新方法，从读者对英国在线新闻文章中有关 COVID-19 的评论中提炼出一个专门的语料库，然后运用语料库语言学技术来识别被归咎为责任主体的主要行为者。研究发现，在评论中，内部（政府和首相）和外部（中国和世界卫生组织）行为者都被认定为责任主体。分析还表明，人们对自己的行动和行为进行了归咎，这在一定程度上可能是政府和公共卫生信息强调个人有责任减少病毒传播的结果。这是一种独特的现象，对公众了解 COVID-19 和未来的大流行病传播规划具有重要意义。

Dynamics of COVID-19 blame attribution: A corpus-based analysis of readers’ comments in response to UK online news

This study adopts a longitudinal approach to analyse the attribution of blame in online comments for the emergence, continuation and consequences of COVID-19. It uses an innovative approach to distil a specialised corpus of readers’ comments in response to UK online news articles about COVID-19, before applying corpus linguistic techniques to identify the principal actors attributed as blame agents. The research found that both internal (the government and the prime minister) and external actors (China and the World Health Organization) were identified as blame agents in comments. The analysis also indicates the presence of blame attribution towards people, their own actions and behaviours, which, in part, may be a consequence of government and public health messaging that emphasised individual responsibility to reduce transmission of the virus. This is distinctive, with significance for public understanding of COVID-19 and for future pandemic communication planning.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
